Hi Sbayl,

Capo-di-monte is a buyer beware market. Most any Capo-di-monte that you see for sale today is a style of Capo-di-monte. In my research I have found that most people do not state that when selling. A buyer should look for the backstamp that indicates the figure's pedigree. I have not seen the crown that is on your piece. The crown on a original is much less detailed. The Capo-di-monte style can sell between $50 to $500 depending on the quality of porcelain, detail of artwork etc. I would estimate your lamp between $150 to $300. One similar sold in 2007 for $50 one in 2011 for $151.38 another earlier this year for $270. The value does seem to be increasing. Keep in mind the asking price is just that, the actual selling price is much less.  

Here is a link that tells a little about the history:

Hope this helps.

Hi Todd,

Your embalming table was made in the 1950's and is worth between $350 to $650. If the hydraulics are working properly. Just need to find the right buyer.

Hi,

Your Heinrich korb porcelain Gold plated tea set is valued between between $30 to $50. I know of one other that sold for $25 years ago. The company was founded in 1896 by Franz Heinrich.. The company was sold in 1979 and the porcelain is still produced today under the name Heinrich Porszellan. I have found no items stamped with dates so I can not confirm how old it is.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Thanks,

Hi Shawn,

The gold plate underneath does not change the value. Please do not remove it.

Below is a picture of a gold plated V. Buech clock. Though in my opinion is not in the best condition.

Hi Richard,

I have only seen one table like yours to include original balls and cue sticks. It sold in 2012 for $135. I would estimate yours in today’s market between $150 to $200.

Hope this helps it is a hard to find item.

Thanks,

Hi Shawn,

Your vintage V Bueche Girod musical alarm clock is worth between $135 to $160. The gold cased and the pink or green lizard cased clocks are selling for up to $800. The more detailed and elegant clocks are worth more. The “S” sets the seconds hand and the “M” sets the minutes hand. You will find ones like yours on eBay with a asking price much higher than what they actually sell for. I believe it may bring more if you had it cleaned by a professional. 

Below is one that sold for $725.88

Hi A,

Your Waltham Pocket Watch Movement is worth $15 to $45 in good working condition. I have seen them sell for as low $8.00

Is the serial number you stated correct? The number showing on the watch is 3203973.

Thanks,

Hi Laszlo,

I have not seen a “Japanese Porcelain Rickshaw censer” exactly like yours but one very similar sold in 2007 for $39.99. It was not specified as from the Meiji period. I would estimate your between $40 to $60 in today's market. Without some kind of mark or date it would only be speculation that it is from the Meiji period. Some of the most popular items of the Meiji period were made by Gyokuzan, Dai Nippon and Choshuzan. Some items have more than one signature e.g., Potter, Painter etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Ellen,

Hi Barbara,

Please feel free to submit as many questions as you like.  I'm very sorry to here you're ill but you shouldn't worry about antiques right now. You should spend as much time as you can enjoying your family and friends.  

Your Heisey Dalzell tropical fish figurine is worth around $100-150 dollars.

I hope this information helps and God bless you and I hope you have a full recovery.

My best guess would be your Louis XVI antique chair to be worth around $1500-2500 dollars, but I'm not an expert in antique furniture, so please take my appraisal lightly.
